Chapter 5 Configuring the Internal Ethernet Adapter for TCP/IP

Configuration Through the Network with RARP
The RARP daemon provides a mechanism for dynamic IP address
assignment. When a RARP-configured TCP/IP host boots, it
broadcasts a RARP request for an IP address. Your network must have
this daemon running on some host. If you do not know whether your
network has one, ask your system administrator or configure the
Internal Ethernet Adapter with one of the other methods in this section.
To configure the Internal Ethernet Adapter with RARP you need to:
1. Make an entry in the /etc/ethers file for the new Internal Ethernet
Adapter:
00:80:72:00:AB:CD:spike
entry for the Internal Ethernet Adapter named spike which has this
Ethernet address.
2. Start the RARP daemon if it isn’t running. Send a HUP signal to it
with the kill command:
kill -HUP pid
3. Power the printer down and then up, wait another ten seconds to
allow the RARP process to complete.
4. Test the new IP address by trying a ping with the new IP name:
ping
ipname
5. [Optional, but recommended] At this point set up the user
passwords.
If no response is given by the Internal Ethernet Adapter, the RARP
process probably failed. Reboot the unit and try one of the other
methods mentioned in this section.
